Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 Broccoli cut into florets
- 1 Red Onion Sliced
- ½ Cup of your favorite nuts slivered I used almonds & walnuts
- 1/3 Cup raisins
- Dressing
- 2 tbsp mustard sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp tahini sauce
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp pepper
- Juice of one lime
Instructions
- To make broccoli salad, first and foremost, blanch the broccoli florets. To do this, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a teaspoon of salt. Now add the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes.
- Remove the florets with a slotted spoon and immerse in cold water. Doing so will ensure that the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
- Mix the dressing ingredients. Adjust to your taste. The recommended proportions are just guidelines and you may find you prefer a sweeter, tangier or spicier flavor.
- Assemble all the ingredients together and preferably let the salad marinate for 20 minutes. Unlike most salads, this recipe stays well in the fridge.
- Serve with boiled eggs for a full meal.

This recipe is perfect for a potluck. It is also a great side to a roast if you are bored with the regular green beans!
